Mother to 15YO Freshman boy
He took meds from 4th grade to 7th grade (
Concerta
). He has since refused to take meds because they exacerbate his feelings of anxiety and intrusive thoughts. I do wish he would take them, especially now that he is in high school.

ADHD medication and hair loss
I've already spoken to my titration team and they are supportive, but I'd like to know any personal experience with
Concerta
and its side effects. Thank you

strattera guanfacine - would you add a stimulant??
Concerta
worked for a while but - crash was terrible. We trialed all these for 9 months and finally took a break over summer before trying non-stimulants. Should we just stay on guanfacine and strattera? He is doing therapy once a week too for about 10 weeks which is going well! Thanks!! Amy

My 10 year old daughter was just diagnosed with ADHD, we have started her on
Concerta
. I’m not sure how much of a difference I see however she lashing out at me in the mornings before school. Is anyone else dealing with outbursts of moods??

10yo - unmanagable
We also got my son onto the generic form of
Concerta
. The medication definately helps him to concentrate at school though we do find we need to up the dosage every couple of years. He is currently on 27mg.

Social issues in kids
We just started her on
concerta
. Hoping that it helps not just with her trouble focusing in school but also socially.. Can anyone offer insight into this? Maybe some success stories? Others who have been there. Feeling like a heartbroken mama right now. Thanks ❤️

3 weeks on Vyvanse and still worse mood than before taking it, is there still a possibility of improving?
Although my mood wasn't great before I feel more down with Vyvanse, I tried
Concerta
before, 2 weeks but it was even worse than with Vyvanse. I feel Vyvanse help me focus and be more still but I'm not sure if these side effects will go away.

Recent diagnosis, looking to talk about it to someone who can relate
The medication isn't helping me focus, even after I switched from
concerta
to medikinet cr, I have a thesis to write and I feel like I'm going crazy wondering what is and isn't a result of ADHD in my life.

ADHD and Stunted Growth in Adolescent
Our 11 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD almost two years ago and began taking daily
concerta
, which has helped significantly. However, he was already on the smaller end for his age prior to taking the medication but has found it very difficult to get the calories he needs.

Extremely rare reaction to new batches of Meds ..! What's wrong?
I even asked my doc to write me original branded
concerta
, and even it had the same exact issue, older batches worked, newer one did not worked at all !!! I mean all generics , newer batches are having same exact effect on me !! It's been 6 months and my life is completely messed up.

ADHD meds that don’t have as much side effect
My 14 year old has tried both
Concerta
and Adderall. Her teachers have noticed a remarkable difference in focus when she takes her meds. However she has refused to take them because she said she feels weird when she’s on them-that she’s not herself.

Ok another post- Anxiety and Depression
Now we are on day two of
concerta
. Yesterday seemed like maybe things were better on it but today she seems kind of agitated? So here's my questions: How long do you give them being on a medication before you decided it wasn't working?

Epileptics on stimulants?
I just got put on long-release
Concerta
, but it doesn't seem to be doing much so far. I'm on Lamictal for the seizures, which controls them pretty well.

Concerta
My 7yo son is about to start
Concerta
. He has only been on nonstimulants in the past, but that is not doing the trick any longer. Any experiences with this medication? TIA!

Vyvanse 30mg not working?
I was put on 18mg of
concerta
, it did absolutely nothing but give me anxiety. I’ve now switched to 30mg of vyvanse, my side effects have been mixed; anger, anxiety, dry mouth, dry eyes. Some days I don’t feel it working at all, some days it works for maybe an hour or so.
